Summary

Thirty adult inpatients were enrolled in an open multicenter study to determine the efficacy and tolerability of mezlocillin injected i. m. in surgical bacterial infections. Clinical, bacteriological and laboratory controls were performed. The infections were caused by gram-negative and/or gram-positive bacteria. Twenty-seven patients were cured bacteriologically and clinically. One patient had a relapse and there was a failure in two. The local and systemic tolerance was very good. One patient experienced nausea, headache and intestinal pain on the second day of treatment. These symptoms subsided spontaneously shortly after mezlocillin treatment was discontinued.

Zusammenfassung

30 erwachsene stationäre Patienten wurden in eine offene multizentrische Studie einbezogen, um die Wirkung und Verträglichkeit von Mezlocillin nach i. m. Injektion auf bakterielle chirurgische Infektionen zu untersuchen. Die Infektionen waren durch gramnegative und/oder grampositive Bakterien hervorgerufen. 27 Patienten wurden bakteriologisch und klinisch geheilt. Ein Patient hatte einen Rückfall und zwei Patienten waren Versager. Die lokale und systemische Verträglichkeit war sehr gut. Ein Patient klagte über Übelkeit, Kopfschmerzen und Bauchschmerzen am zweiten Behandlungstag. Die Symptome schwanden kurz nach Ende der Injektion spontan.
